This deserves a thread of its own,

ricki sheriffe, a real "WTF????" moment, i've no idea what he was hoping to achieve by keeping the ball in but propelling it forward. Nothing good could have come of it.

Absolutely hilarious! Even if he had let himself go out it would have been a drop-out, so throwing it (which would have resulted in a drop-out) benifited nobody but us...

In the first half, when Riley bagged that awesome try, I thought I wouldn't see a try as good as that all year.

I was wrong. Higham's try was one of the best and most skilfull tries I have ever seen. Bar none.

Madness, utter madness.

I'm not going to start a thread, but I think we should also thank the father of Michael Platt for his spunk, without him, Bradford wouldn't have missed half as many tackles and left such exploitable holes. We've got some rotters, but i'm not sure there's a worse player in SL than he.

Serious point on this about the rules.

A deliberate forward pass is a penalty.

You cannot be offside over your own line.

With those two rules, what would have been the ruling had Bradford caught his pass back into the field of play?

Bit of a guess, but I would imagine that the result should have been a penalty for the deliberate knock-on/forward pass which would have been given under the sticks, however chances are it would have been a drop-out for a knock-on/forward pass in goal (based on the fact that I have never seen a penalty given for a deliberate knock-on).

I assume you mean a deliberate forward pass, not knock on.

I would expect that the pass forward would technically be classed as an offside, yet this isn;t an offence in-goal, so that is what confuses me slightly...

It would have been play on for Bulls. A forward pass be in intentional or unintentional can only take in the field of play.

I suppose what he was trying to do was pass it to Scruton? (dont remember) who would have tried run out past the posts.

However was madness. Even more than Platts!

I'll explain that moment like this.....
